According to a recent Pew Research Center survey, one-third of young adults in the U.S. believe that climate change is not human-made, and no wonder: That’s what they are taught in school. What are the repercussions of the misinformation? Who has tried to influence what children learn? How successful have they been?
This virtual conversation will explore the climate denialism that’s being taught in the classrooms of millions of school kids. The featured speakers will discuss the unique value of nonprofit, nonpartisan journalism, and the power of the partnership between three acclaimed investigative institutions coming together for the first time to publish MISEDUCATION: How Climate Change Is Taught in America, by Katie Worth.
In partnership with FRONTLINE, Columbia Global Reports, and The GroundTruth Project.
